Police appeal for help over 1968 sex assault

12:10pm Monday 13th February 2012 in News

Detectives in Bradford attempting to solve a serious sex assault committed more than 40 years ago have made a fresh appeal for witnesses.

Bradford South CID has made an appeal to find David Wright, who is believed to have been a key witness to the attack in the Barkerend area in the summer of 1968.

A complaint was made to West Yorkshire Police in June 2011 and police have attempted to trace a number of witnesses.

Police believe Mr Wright moved to Devon from Bradford as a teenager and would now be about 50 years old.

A West Yorkshire Police spokesman said: “If he is still living in this area we would like to hear from him, as he could provide significant help in progressing this investigation. We want to speak to him only as a witness. He has nothing to fear in coming forward.”

Anyone with information should contact Detective Constable Paul Riley on (01274) 376593.
